[Edit - These files are no longer available from this site. Email me for details on how to access my previous files].Of course, they're both! Or either. I'm not sure, but you get my drift, no? :)
Earlier in the week, when I was trying Tim Holtz's November Technique Challenge, I had a play with some of the new acetate masks he's released as part of his idea-ology range. As ever, it set my mind a-whirring, and I thought "I could make some of these, in my own designs!", thinking I could cut them in card or paper and use them a few times and then throw them away..
I spent some time creating some designs, and then thought I'd try to cut a sheet of acetate on my Cricut. Turns out that acetate cuts like a dream in the cricut, like a hot knife through butter!
I put some repositionable adhesive on the back of the masks and I was ready to go! Take a look at the video below to get an idea of how to use them.
Of course, if you don't want to use them as masks, cut them out of your favorite cardstock and use them as wonderful latticed borders for a scrapbook page or card!!
Again, these templates will be "live" for 1 week. Next Saturday, they will be taken down, and new ones will replace them. Don't forget, if you have any requests, pass them on! I can't promise, but I will take suggestions into account when planning future templates.
These files may not be uploaded to a group, forum or website for sale or redistribution, or shared among individuals. They are expressly for the personal use of each person that downloads them from this blog.
There are 4 files this week, so I have put it into a zip file to make downloading easier. After saving it, open in the usual way, and drag the template out onto your desktop or wherever you wish to save them.
There are 3 versions of each template:
- A printable version (PNG files) that you can import into a program like Word, then resize, print, cut out and use like any other paper template (these are NOT Word files, so don't use File/Open in Word! Use Insert/Picture to bring them into a Word document).
- An SVG version which can be imported into the Sure Cuts a Lot program and then cut out on your Cricut.
- A DXF version which is Craft Robo friendly, and ready to be imported into your Robomaster software (I'm not a Robo user, so if there are any problems with this, please let me know!)
Any feedback on the templates is more than welcome, and if you have any suggestions for possible future templates you'd like to see, please let me know! If you make anything using one of the templates, please post a link to it here so that others can be inspired by how you've used them!
I hope you like the templates - let me know how you get on! :)

Thanks for the fences Dan.
Great Fences! Perfect for my Halloween scrapbook page as a border. Thank you so much!!
How in the world do you know what everyone needs?? I am about to make a western themed calendar as a gift and was going to try to create some barbed wire. Once again you saved me loads of time! Thank you!!
OMG you are awesome as usual. Your talent never ceases to amaze me. Do you have some way you can transfer it. Thanks Love
Love your video! You answered so many questions in two short minutes!
Dan, this is awesome! Thanks for sharing. Which Cricut cartridge did you say we would need?? I'm not familiar with one that has these images. ALSO, what 'low tack' adhesive do you recommend? Thanks!
These images are not on a Cricut cartridge. I design my weekly freebies myself and they can be cut on the Cricut if you have the Sure Cuts a Lot (SCAL for short) program for your computer. You can find out more about it at http://www.craftedge.com.
BEEP,BEEP fantastic
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH LOVE IT.

thanks for this..I know what I will be doing at the next crop where they have got a cricut!!
Wow, thanks Dan! I missed these files but it has given me great ideas for other masks I can make now! It wouldn't have occurred to me to use my cricut for this sort of thing.
Great idea Dan, missed these first time around. Have never tried cutting accetate on my machine will have to give it a go now Thank you
I also missed this the first time around. I have been using the cruicut less than one year now, and I am more than excited to give this a try... Jeni
